He helpe me in the beginning to the end always listening and helpfully thank a lot
Before hiring mr. Dennis mulligan I consulted 4 other lawyers tho.but all the time I couldn't make myself assured that should I hire them or not. I was still in search of a good lawyer then one day I came to know about him by avvo. I thought let's make an appointment with him and talk to him.when I started to talk to him. Within 10 minutes I realize that yes he's the best and he's that was looking for.on same spot I hired him. He's so nice and simple man.believe me he has a lot of knowledge and dedication for his work. Very punctual of time. He studied my case very well and on the first hearing I won my immigration case. I don't have enough words to explain his ability in his field.he is the best immigration lawyer .
My immigration problems began in 2004 when I had a very bad experience with an immigration law firm that created a big problem in my case. For years, there was little progress and so I eventually hired a second lawyer but she was not able to help me. Needing legal counsel, I searched for an attorney with integrity, solid credentials, good moral character and with meaningful immigration law experience. Due to a recommendation from one of his former law students, I was fortunate enough to find and retain the highly-experienced New York attorney Dennis Mulligan. His careful analysis of my case was exceptional and the preparation extraordinary. The earnestness with which Dennis worked on my behalf was evidenced in countless telephone calls, meetings, legal correspondence, hearings’ preparation, scenario role playing, and travel to and from New York, Philadelphia and Boston – all of which he did with careful attention to every detail. Most importantly, Dennis was able to motivate and encourage me at every stage of the process - all of which ultimately led to a successful outcome - my permanent residency here in the U.S. I would highly recommend Dennis for anyone who needs an Immigration attorney who operates at the highest level of professionalism and without sacrificing the human component. Thank you Dennis. With gratitude and respect.
I consulted Mr. Mulligan for my asylum. I was so afraid to tell my story to any one but I told him everything. He listened every word carefully, make notes and explained me each and every step thoroughly and honestly. I was very much impressed with my consultation with him that I hired him. He did a complete research about my specific situation, helped me in completing my application and he did everything that he could to expedite the process because of my situation. I was in contact with him on emails and on phone calls too during the entire period of my case. He always answered my all questions and he kept me informed about every update on my case as well. He is trustworthy and very professional in his job. I would highly recommend him.
I'm from Mexico and I'm 20 years old. Dennis Mulligan helped me in the process of getting my papers. He was quick and professional. I also noticed that the way he writes and presents the information is great which is very important in this business; I even use his technique at college and I get better grades. Thank you Dennis
I really appreciate him he is my life saver i was devastated my situation but he helped me out more than 100% he is so reliable and acknowledge you could trust i was so lucky to met him
I came across Mr. Mulligan approximately 10 months ago and he has helped tremendously with a family petition which has not been easy. I was a bit hesitant regarding the petition process and whether it was the best decision to move forward, every step of the way Mr. Mulligan was there to guide me in the right direction and assist with paperwork or any questions I may have had. We have spoken over the phone on numerous occasions and his counsel was always honest and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend Mr. Mulligan for any immigration/petition or citizenship matter as his services really are the best and his honest approach makes a tough and confusing process a bit more comforting. Thank you, Mr. Mulligan.
Mr. Mulligan was attentive, knowledgable and honest during my immigration case. He was always available to me, responding to my issues immediately. He was with me through every step of the process and was always prepared. I would highly recommend him for anyone seeking immigration assistance.
Mr. Mulligan has been extremely helpful, responsive, and genuine throughout my entire experience with him. I had a Skype call with him with regards to a possible asylum case and the interference that could arise from having other immigration applications outside the US. I had all my questions answered either during the call or in his follow up emails. I highly recommend him and I will definitely use his services again.
i highly recommend Mr. Mulligan, he was very helpful during our immigration case with the US DISTRICT COURT. He always handled everything personally and i never spoke with a secretary. he fought very hard for us and put his effort into what we were dealing with. No empty promises were made. We are very pleased with his representation, he is a very honest man and greatly appreciated.
